I wish I could be sitting across from you with a good cup of coffee or a good glass of bourbon depending on your vibe. Perhaps we should get to know each other first before we pour out the strong stuff?

Let's get the small talk out of the way: My name is Rachael. I'm 4'11 and 3/4". (Don't forget the 3/4".) I am married to my best friend. I have 4 kids 5 and under. I'm from here, there, and everywhere. My age? Let’s just say I’m from the era of gel pens and “be kind rewind.” For fun I love to formulate words whether for stages or paper because I enjoy helping people feel all of the things.

Okay. It’s 5 o’clock somewhere right? Or maybe it’s noon. I’m certainly not judging. But, it’s time for the heavier pour. Many moons ago God opened my eyes to the beauty of homes and families. Through the 14 years of working with kids and families of all make-ups to now raising my own crew, I’ve seen the power of family. I’ve seen the sacred things God can do within a home whether it be 4 walls on wheels or a 4 story house.

Statistics tell us that a parent is the number one spiritual influence in a kid’s life. Basically, you are a really big deal. This is why I’ve given my life to partnering with adults who are raising kids - Moms, Dads, Grandpas, Aunties, and all of em’ who fill the parent role.

I don’t know about you, but it doesn’t just take a village to raise my kids. There are days I need a village to raise me up too. After all, I’m growing in this whole parenting thing. So this is why we find ourselves here. This space is where I curate resources to cultivate encouragement and growth for the people raising humans.
